If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(b) Each Borrowing shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of (i) in the case of a Term Borrowing, $5.0 million or an integral multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof, or (ii) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing, $1.0 million or an integral multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof or, if less, the aggregate amount of the then Available Revolving Credit Commitments.

(c) Upon receipt of the Term Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Lender of the aggregate amount of the Term Borrowing.

with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.04; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed $5.0 million (the “Swingline Sublimit”) at any one time outstanding, (ii) the principal amount of any borrowing of Swingline Loans may not exceed the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Lenders immediately prior to such borrowing or result in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure then outstanding exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, and (iii) in no event may Swingline Loans be borrowed hereunder if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.04 may be repaid and, up to but excluding the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, reborrowed. All Swingline Loans shall at all times be ABR Loans. Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice of any Swingline Loan requested hereunder (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date) specifying (A) the amount to be borrowed, and (B) the requested Borrowing Date. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Swingline Lender of the aggregate amount of such borrowing.

If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, Borrower shall also submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s or the LC Facility Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall not be issued, amended, renewed or extended if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (x) with respect to Revolving Letters of Credit, (I) the total Revolving LC Exposure would exceed $10.0 million or (II) the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) with respect to LC Facility Letters of Credit, the LC Facility LC Exposure would exceed the Total LC Facility Deposit. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender or LC Facility Lender thereof, as the case may be, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.06(d). On the first Business Day of each calendar month, each Issuing Bank and the LC Facility Issuing Bank shall provide to the Administrative Agent a report listing all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it and the amounts and beneficiaries thereof and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such report to each Revolving Lender or LC Facility Lender, as applicable.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension; provided, that if Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank so agree, any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic renewal of such Letter of Credit for successive one year terms (subject to clause (ii)) and (ii) (x) with respect to any Revolving Letter of Credit, the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (y) with respect to any LC Facility Letter of Credit, the date that is five Business Days prior to the LC Facility Maturity Date.

(d) Participations.

(i) By the issuance of a Revolving Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Revolving Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank issuing such Revolving Letter of Credit or the Lenders, each Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from each Issuing Bank, a participation in each such Letter of Credit

-43-

equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each Revolving LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.06(e) or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrower. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Revolving Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Revolving Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(ii) By the issuance of an LC Facility Letter of Credit (or an amendment to an LC Facility Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof), without any further action on the part of the LC Facility Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Lenders, the LC Facility Issuing Bank hereby grants to each LC Facility Lender, and each LC Facility Lender hereby acquires from the LC Facility Issuing Bank, a participation in each LC Facility Letter of Credit equal to such LC Facility Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such LC Facility Letter of Credit. The aggregate purchase price for the participations of each LC Facility Lender in LC Facility Letters of Credit shall equal the amount of the LC Facility Deposit of such LC Facility Lender. Each LC Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees that if the LC Facility Issuing Bank makes an LC Facility LC Disbursement which is not reimbursed by Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.06(e), or is required to refund any reimbursement payment in respect of an LC Facility LC Disbursement to Borrower for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse the LC Facility Issuing Bank for the amount of such LC Facility LC Disbursement from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account in accordance with Section 2.06(e)(iii). Each LC Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its authorization granted hereby and obligations hereunder are unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any LC Facility Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or the return of the LC Facility Deposits. Without limiting the foregoing, the LC Facility Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to apply the LC Facility Deposits as provided in this Section 2.06(d)(ii).

(e) Reimbursement.

(i) If an Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than the Business Day immediately following the day that Borrower receives notice that an LC Disbursement has been made; provided that, so long as no Default is continuing of which the Administrative Agent has been notified and subject to the availability of unused Revolving Credit Commitments, Borrower, each Issuing Bank, the

-44-

Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that in the event an Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement under a Revolving Letter of Credit and Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount pursuant to this Section 2.06(e)(i), such unreimbursed LC Disbursement and all obligations of Borrower relating thereto shall be satisfied when due and payable by the borrowing of one or more Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans, which Borrower hereby acknowledges are requested and the Lenders hereby agree to fund; provided, further, that prior to any such Revolving Loans being made, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, confirm with Borrower that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are met, and if Borrower does not confirm that such condition shall be met then the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to cause such Revolving Loans to be made.

(ii) If Borrower fails to make any payment due under Section 2.06(e)(i) with respect to a Revolving Letter of Credit when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable Revolving LC Disbursement, the payment then due from Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Commitment Percentage of the payment then due from Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank that has made the Revolving LC Disbursement the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any Revolving LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(iii) If Borrower fails to make any payment due under Section 2.06(d)(i) with respect to an LC Facility Letter of Credit (or if the LC Facility Issuing Bank would be required to make an LC Facility LC Disbursement and so requests), the Administrative Agent shall notify each LC Facility Lender of the applicable LC Facility LC Disbursement, the payment then due from Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the LC Facility Issuing Bank each LC Facility Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such LC Facility LC Disbursement from the LC Facility Deposits. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment by Borrower in respect of any LC Facility LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the LC Facility Issuing Bank or, to the extent payments have been made from the LC Facility Deposits, to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account to be added to the LC Facility Deposits of the LC Facility Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. Borrower acknowledges that each payment made pursuant to this Section 2.06(d)(iii) in respect of any LC Facility LC Disbursement is required to be made for the benefit of the distributees

-45-

indicated in the immediately preceding sentence. Any payment made from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, or from funds of the Administrative Agent, pursuant to this paragraph or Section 2.21(c) to pay the LC Facility Issuing Bank for any LC Facility LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (except as otherwise provided below), or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.06, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks nor the LC Facility Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s or such LC Facility Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), an Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. An Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, subject to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment

-46-

under a Letter of Credit. An Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank as applicable, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower by telephone of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank or such LC Facility Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders or LC Facility Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date Borrower (or any other account party) reimburses such LC Disbursement, at (1) in the case of a Revolving LC Disbursement, the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and (2) in the case of an LC Facility LC Disbursement, the rate per annum that would be applicable to Eurodollar Term Loans with a one month Interest Period commencing on the date of such LC Disbursement; provided that, if Borrower fails to reimburse (or cause another account party to reimburse) such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.06(e), then Section 2.08(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank making such LC Disbursement or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(e)(ii) to reimburse an Issuing Bank or from the LC Facility Deposit of any LC Facility Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(e)(iii) to reimburse the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of Issuing Banks and the LC Facility Issuing Bank.

(i) An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(b). From and after the Closing Date of any such replacement, (1) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (2) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(ii) The LC Facility Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced LC Facility Issuing Bank and the successor LC Facility Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the LC Facility Lenders of any such replacement of the LC Facility Issuing Bank. At the

-47-

time any such replacement shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced LC Facility Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(c). From and after the Closing Date of any such replacement, (1) the successor LC Facility Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the LC Facility Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (2) references herein to the term “LC Facility Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous LC Facility Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous LC Facility Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the LC Facility Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced LC Facility Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the LC Facility Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, LC Facility Lenders with LC Facility LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Facility LC Exposure and/or Revolving Lenders with Revolving LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, Borrower shall deposit in an account which shall by established at such time by the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Facility LC Exposure and/or the Revolving LC Exposure, as applicable, as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to Borrower described in Section 7.01(i). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and shall be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall in no event be liable for the selection of such Permitted Investments or for investment losses with respect thereto, including losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of such Permitted Investments prior to stated maturity). The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of Borrower for the LC Facility LC Exposure and/or Revolving LC Exposure, as applicable, at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of LC Facility Lenders representing greater than 50% of the LC Facility LC Exposure and/or Revolving Lenders with Revolving LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the Revolving LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement. If Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral

-48-

hereunder pursuant to Section 2.05(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.05(b) and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(k) Assignment. The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) Citibank, N.A., as Issuing Bank, may, without the consent of any party hereto, assign to an Affiliate all right, title and interest of Citibank, N.A. (the “Affiliate Assigned Rights”) in, to and under any and all obligations of Borrower under Section 2.06(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank for Revolving LC Disbursements (the “Reimbursement Obligations”), (b) in respect of all such Reimbursement Obligations constituting Affiliate Assigned Rights, for all purposes of this Agreement such Affiliate shall be deemed the “Issuing Bank”, (c) the obligations of the Revolving Lenders and Borrower to Citibank, N.A. shall, in the case of the Affiliate Assigned Rights, inure to the benefit of the Affiliate acquiring or having acquired such Affiliate Assigned Rights and be enforceable by such Affiliate and/or by the Issuing Bank on behalf of such Affiliate and (d) all payments made by Borrower and/or any Revolving Lender to such Affiliate acquiring or having acquired such Affiliate Assigned Rights shall discharge all such obligations otherwise owing to Citibank, N.A. as Issuing Bank, to the extent so paid. The foregoing shall not otherwise affect the rights and obligations of Citibank N.A., as Issuing Bank hereunder.

SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders (i) on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or such earlier date as, and to the extent that, such Revolving Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of, and all other amounts outstanding under, each Revolving Loan and each Swingline Loan made to it by each such Lender and (ii) on the Term Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as, and to the extent that, such Term Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan held by each such Lender. Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest in immediately available funds at the applicable office of the Administrative Agent (as specified in Section 2.13(a)) on the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Term Loans made to it from time to time from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.08.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 9.04, and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each LC Facility Participation and Loan, and the Class and Type of each such Loan and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of LC Facility LC Fees and amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.21(b) in respect of each such LC Facility Participation and any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable, and the

-49-

amounts of any principal or interest paid, from Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of each such Loan and (iii) the amount of any reductions to the Total LC Facility Deposit and the reduction in the amount of LC Facility Participation of each LC Facility Lender as a result thereof and the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from Borrower in respect of Loan and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.07 and the Notes maintained pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.07 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Loans of each Class made by each Lender to Borrower shall, if requested by the applicable Lender (which request shall be made to the Administrative Agent), be evidenced by a single Note duly executed on behalf of Borrower, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1, E-2 or E-3, as applicable, with the blanks appropriately filled, payable to the order of such Lender.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to (A) the Adjusted LIBO Rate determined for such Interest Period, plus (B) the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, or over a year of 360 days when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during an Event of Default, all Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a per annum rate equal to (i) in the case of principal of or interest on any Loan, 200 basis points plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.08, (ii) in the case of any LC Disbursement not reimbursed on the Business Day following the day Borrower receives notice that the LC Disbursement was made, 200 basis points plus the rate otherwise applicable to such LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(i) or (iii) in the case of any other amount, 200 basis points plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in Section 2.08(b), in each case from the date of such nonpayment to (but excluding) the date on which such amount is paid in full.

-50-

event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or repayment or prepayment of a Swingline Loan), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the date of such conversion. Interest in respect of each Loan shall accrue from and including the first day of an Interest Period to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period.

SECTION 2.09. Computation of Interest. Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.10. Fees.

(a) Borrower agrees to pay a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) to each Revolving Lender, for which payment will be made in arrears through the Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. The Commitment Fee shall accrue commencing on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date that the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be terminated as provided herein. The Commitment Fee accrued to each Revolving Lender shall equal the Commitment Fee Percentage multiplied by such Lender’s Commitment Fee Average Daily Amount (as defined below) for the applicable period. A Revolving Lender’s “Commitment Fee Average Daily Amount” with respect to a calculation period shall equal the average daily amount during such period calculated using the daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment less such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure (excluding clause (c) of the definition thereof for purposes of determining the Commitment Fee Average Daily Amount only) for any applicable days during such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Period. The Commitment Fee shall also be payable on each date of termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to the date of such termination or reduction. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(b) Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Revolving Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans accruing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate on the average daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Revolving LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any Revolving LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the average daily amount of the Revolving LC Exposure or such lesser amount as shall be agreed to by the Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Revolving LC Disbursements, which shall accrue interest pursuant to Section 2.06(j)) resulting from Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date

-51-

on which there ceases to be any Revolving LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Revolving Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees under this paragraph (collectively, “Revolving LC Fees”) accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each calendar year during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand therefor. All Revolving LC Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) Borrower agrees to pay (i) in addition to the fees payable to the LC Facility Lenders pursuant to Section 2.21(b), to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the LC Facility Lenders a participation fee accruing at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for LC Facility Deposits on the average daily amount of the Total LC Facility Deposit during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the LC Facility Deposits are returned to the LC Facility Lenders, and (ii) to the LC Facility Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Facility LC Exposure or such lesser amount as shall be agreed to by the LC Facility Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Facility LC Disbursements, which shall accrue interest pursuant to Section 2.06(j)) resulting from Letters of Credit issued by the LC Facility Issuing Bank during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the last day of the LC Facility Availability Period and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Facility LC Exposure, as well as the LC Facility Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees under this paragraph (collectively, the “LC Facility LC Fees”) accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each calendar year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the LC Facility Deposits are returned to the LC Facility Lenders and any such fees accruing after the date on which the LC Facility Deposits are returned to the LC Facility Lenders shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the LC Facility Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All LC Facility LC Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(d) Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the administrative fee set forth in the Fee Letter (the “Agent Fees”).

(e) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable (unless there was an error in the computation thereof).

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Term Commitments shall terminate on the Closing Date after the Term Loans are made on such date.

(b) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the right, upon one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate or, from time to time, reduce the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million and (ii) no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any repayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure then outstanding would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect.

(c) Borrower may at any time or from time to time, upon 30 days’ prior notice, direct the Administrative Agent to reduce the Total LC Facility Deposit; provided that (i) each reduction of the LC Facility Deposits shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million and (ii) the LC Facility Deposits shall not be reduced to the extent that, after giving effect to such reduction, the aggregate LC Facility LC Exposure would exceed the Total LC Facility Deposit. In the event the Total LC Facility Deposit shall be reduced as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will return the amount in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account in excess of the reduced Total LC Facility Deposit to the LC Facility Lenders, ratably in accordance with their Commitment Percentages of the Total LC Facility Deposit (as determined immediately prior to such reduction).

(d) If (x) any LC Facility Letter of Credit remains outstanding on the LC Facility Maturity Date or (y) pursuant to Section 2.05(e), the Total LC Facility Deposit is reduced to an amount than is less than the aggregate LC Facility LC Exposure, Borrower will deposit with the Administrative Agent, in accordance with Section 2.06(j), an amount in cash equal to 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding LC Facility Letters of Credit in the case of clause (x) and of the amount by which the aggregate LC Facility LC Exposure exceeds the Total LC Facility Deposit, in either case, to secure Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect to any drawings that may occur. Subject only to Borrower’s compliance with its obligations under the preceding sentence, any amount of the LC Facility Deposits in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account will be returned to the LC Facility Lenders on the LC Facility Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.12. Inability to Determine Interest Rate; Unavailability of Deposits; Inadequacy of Interest Rate. If prior to 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days before the first day of any Interest Period, including an initial Interest Period, for a requested Eurodollar Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market generally, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period, or

-53-

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a majority in interest of the Lenders of the applicable Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period for such Eurodollar Borrowing will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the same day. The Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice to Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable after the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and until such notice has been given, any affected Eurodollar Loans shall not be (x) converted or continued pursuant to Section 2.03 or (y) made pursuant to a Borrowing Request, and shall be continued or made as ABR Loans, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.13. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments; Proceeds of Collateral.

(a) Each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the amounts of such Revolving Lenders’ Commitment Percentages. Each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrower on account of principal of and interest on Loans which are ABR Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such ABR Loans then held by the Lenders of the applicable Class. Each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrower on account of principal of and interest on Loans which are Eurodollar Loans designated by Borrower to be applied to a particular Eurodollar Borrowing shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then held by the Lenders of the applicable Class. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders of the applicable Class, at the Administrative Agent’s New York office specified in Section 9.01 in the currency in which the applicable obligation is denominated and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto in the same currency as received and promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to any payment accruing interest or any fee or other amount accruing at a per annum rate, interest thereon or such fee or other amount, as applicable, shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

-54-

(b) Subject to Section 2.12, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.13(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such Borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Revolving Loans hereunder, on demand, from Borrower, but without prejudice to any right or claim that Borrower may have against such Lender.

(c) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(d) All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies, together with any other moneys then held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account, shall, to the extent available for distribution (it being understood that the Collateral Agent may liquidate investments prior to maturity in order to make a distribution pursuant to this Section 2.13(d)), be distributed by the Collateral Agent on each Distribution Date in the following order of priority:

First: to the Collateral Agent for any unpaid Collateral Agent fees and expenses (including, the payment of the costs and expenses, fees, commissions and taxes relating to such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Collateral Agent in connection therewith and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of any Loan Document, together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under the Credit Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full);

Second: without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clause First above, to any other Secured Party which has theretofore advanced or paid any Collateral Agent

-55-

fees and expenses constituting administrative expenses allowable under Section 503(b) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Law, an amount equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid by such Secured Party and for which such Secured Party has not been reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date, and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to such Secured Parties in proportion to the amounts of such Collateral Agent fees advanced by the respective Secured Parties and remaining unpaid on such Distribution Date;

Third: without duplication of the amounts applied pursuant to clause First and Second above, to any Secured Party which has theretofore advanced or paid any Collateral Agent fees and expenses other than such administrative expenses, an amount equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid by such Secured Party and for which such Secured Party has not been reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date, and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to such Secured Parties in proportion to the amounts of such Collateral Agent fees advanced by the respective Secured Parties and remaining unpaid on such Distribution Date;

Fourth: without duplication of the amounts applied pursuant to clauses First, Second and Third above, to the Secured Parties that are Lenders or Hedging Exchangers, interest and other amounts constituting Secured Obligations (other than principal and Reimbursement Obligations) and any fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments due under Hedging Agreements constituting Secured Obligations and any interest accrued thereon, in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due or owing; and

Fifth: without duplication of the amounts applied pursuant to clauses First, Second, Third and Fourth above, to the Secured Parties that are Lenders or Hedging Exchangers, principal amount of the Obligations (including Reimbursement Obligations) and any breakage, termination or other payments under Hedging Agreements constituting Secured Obligations then due, owing or unpaid until paid in full, in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due or owing; and

Sixth: without duplication of the amounts applied pursuant to clauses First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth above, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Loan Parties or their successors or assigns or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses First through Fifth of this Section 2.13(d), the Loan Parties shall remain liable for any deficiency.

(e) The term “unpaid” as used in clause Third of Section 2.13(d) above refers:

(i) in the absence of a bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the relevant Loan Parties, to all amounts of the relevant Obligations outstanding as of a Distribution Date, and

-56-

(ii) during the pendency of a bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the relevant Loan Parties, to all amounts allowed by the bankruptcy court in respect of the relevant Obligations as a basis for distribution (including estimated amounts, if any, allowed in respect of contingent claims), to the extent that prior distributions have not been made in respect thereof.

SECTION 2.14. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (i) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be suspended until such time as the making or maintaining of Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be unlawful, and (ii) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law.

SECTION 2.15. Requirements of Law.

(a) If at any time any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the compliance by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank for agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or any LC Facility Deposit (including any tax other than Indemnified or Other Taxes or Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.16, which shall be governed exclusively by such section), then Borrower shall from time to time, within five days of demand therefor by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, such notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable directly to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, within five days of Borrower’s receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower.

(b) If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request

-57-

(whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other Governmental Authority after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank (or a holding company controlling such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank) and such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its capital (or the capital of its holding company, as the case may be) as a consequence of its Revolving Credit Commitment or the Loans made by it or its participations in Swingline Loans or any issuance, participation or maintenance of Letters of Credit is reduced to a level below that which such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank (or its holding company) could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank to Borrower, Borrower shall immediately pay directly to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as the case may be, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank (or its holding company) for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower. In determining such amount, such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.

(c) In the event that the Issuing Bank, any Lender or the LC Facility Issuing Bank determines that any event or circumstance that will lead to a claim under this Section 2.15 has occurred or will occur, the Issuing Bank, such Lender or the LC Facility Issuing Bank will use its best efforts to so notify Borrower; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or LC Facility Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any amounts incurred more than 120 days prior to the date such Lender or LC Facility Issuing Bank notifies Borrower of such claim; provided that any failure to provide such notice shall in no way impair the rights of the Issuing Bank, such Lender or the LC Facility Issuing Bank to demand and receive compensation under this Section 2.15, but without prejudice to any claims of Borrower for compensation for actual damages sustained as a result of any failure to observe this undertaking.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 2.16, all payments by the Loan Parties of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any and all Taxes imposed on any Agent, any Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender (or any assignee of such Lender, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or a Participant or a change in designation of the lending office of a Lender, the LC Facility Issuing Bank, or an Issuing Bank, as the case may be (a “Transferee”) or any successor Agent), but excluding Excluded Taxes (such non-excluded items being called “Indemnified Taxes”) unless required by applicable law. In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document is required in respect of any Indemnified Taxes pursuant to applicable law, then the Loan Parties will:

(i) timely pay directly to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

-58-

(ii) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(iii) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or the Issuing Banks or Transferees, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as are necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender or the Issuing Banks or Transferees, as the case may be, will equal the full amount such Lender, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or such Issuing Bank or Transferees, as the case may be, would have received had no such withholding or deduction (including any withholding or deduction applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.16) been required.

(b) The Loan Parties agree to timely pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including interest, fines and penalties in addition to tax) arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).

(c) If any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted against any Agent, any Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee with respect to any payment received by any Agent, any Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such Agent, such Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee, upon written request showing in reasonable detail the basis and amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, Borrower shall promptly indemnify and hold harmless such party from all Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, whether or not such Indemnified or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by virtue of such indemnification or by virtue of the failure of the Borrower to provide the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, and all expenses reasonably related to the foregoing.

(d) (i) Each Lender or Transferee, each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each LC Facility Issuing Bank that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes (each, a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Non-U.S. Lender that is a party hereto on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of any assignment, participation or change in the designated lending office hereunder, or on or prior to the date a New Revolving Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is a Transferee or a New Revolving Lender) or in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is a successor Agent, on or prior to the date such successor Agent becomes an Agent hereunder, execute and deliver, if legally able to do so, to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (A) two accurate and complete original signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or W-8BEN or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, as may be applicable

-59-

to establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to such Non-U.S. Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of withholding or deduction of Taxes or (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from United States federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit M, or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent (any such certificate a “Section 2.16(d) Certificate”) to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and under any Note or under any other Loan Document. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect or if reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, it will, to the extent legally able to do so, deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 2.16(d) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments under the Loan Documents.

(ii) Each Lender or Transferee, each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each LC Facility Issuing Bank that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes (each, a “U.S. Lender”) and has not otherwise established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is an exempt recipient (as defined in section 6049(b)(4) of the Code and the United States Treasury Regulations thereunder) shall, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each U.S. Lender that is a party hereto on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of any assignment, participation or change in the designated lending office hereunder, or on or prior to the date a New Revolving Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (in the case of a Transferee or a New Revolving Lender), or on or prior to the date a successor Agent becomes an Agent hereunder (in the case of a successor Agent) execute and deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed to establish a complete exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note and under any other Loan Document. In addition, each U.S. Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect or if reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, it will deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such U.S. Lender to a continued complete exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

-60-

(e) With respect to obligations under this Agreement other than those specified in the immediately following sentence, no Loan Party shall be required to indemnify or to pay any additional amounts to any Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank, any Lender or Transferee or any Agent with respect to any Indemnified Taxes that are United States Federal withholding taxes to the extent that (i) any obligation to withhold, deduct or pay amounts with respect to such Indemnified Tax existed on the date such Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank, such Lender or Transferee or such Agent, became a party to this Agreement or otherwise becomes a Transferee or otherwise becomes a successor Agent, except to the extent that such Person (or its assignor) was previously entitled to receive indemnification or additional amounts from a Loan Party with respect to any such Indemnified Tax under the provisions hereunder, or (ii) such Indemnified Taxes arise because such Issuing Bank, such LC Facility Issuing Bank, such Lender or Transferee or such Agent fails to provide any forms or certificates required by the provisions of Section 2.16(d) that such Person is legally able to provide. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it is understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that the obligation of the Loan Parties to indemnify for Indemnified Taxes and to pay additional amounts under this Section 2.16 shall apply with respect to any and all Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to each Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank, and each Lender and Transferee and each Agent as a result of a change in law, including treaties, or regulation or a change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Person occurring after the time such Person becomes a party to this Agreement.

(f) In the event that any Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee or any Agent determines that any event or circumstance that will lead to a claim by it under this Section 2.16 has occurred or will occur, such Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee or such Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to so notify Borrowers; provided that any failure to provide such notice shall in no way impair the rights of any Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee or any Agent to demand and receive compensation under this Section 2.16.

(g) If a Loan Party pays any additional amount or makes an indemnity payment under this Section 2.16 to any Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank, any Lender or Transferee or any Agent or any successor Agent, and such Person determines in its sole good faith discretion that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund of the Indemnified Tax, such Person shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund which was obtained by such Person (net all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of any Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee or Agent); provided, however, that, in no event will any Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee or Agent be required to pay any amount to the Borrower the payment of which would place such Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee or Agent in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee or Agent would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had never been paid; and provided further, that the Borrower, upon the request of any Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee or Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower to any Issuing

-61-

Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee or Agent in the event any Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee or Agent is required to repay such refund, plus interest and penalties (excluding interest and penalties attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender). This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee or Agent to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower or any other Person (including its tax returns).

(h) The agreements in this Section 2.16 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable thereunder.

SECTION 2.17. Indemnity. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss (other than lost profit) or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan) as a result of any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.07, 2.14, 2.15 or 2.20 or otherwise, or any failure to borrow or convert any Eurodollar Loan after notice thereof shall have been given hereunder, whether by reason of any failure to satisfy a condition to such Borrowing or otherwise, then, upon the written notice of such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), Borrower shall, within five days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower.

SECTION 2.18. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender (or Transferee) agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 with respect to such Lender (or Transferee), it will, if requested by Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender (or Transferee)) to designate another lending office for any Loans or LC Facility Deposits affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its respective lending offices to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.18 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of Borrower or the rights of any Lender (or Transferee) pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16.

SECTION 2.19. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loans or participations in LC Disbursements which at the time shall be due and payable as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements which at the time shall be due and payable shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such

-62-

other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements as prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.19 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustments restored without interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or an LC Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if the Lender were a direct creditor directly to Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.20. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances. In the event that any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15, or Borrower shall be required to make additional payments or indemnity payments to any Lender under Section 2.16 (each, an “Increased Cost Lender”); then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender, Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Increased Cost Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Increased Cost Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions and requirements contained in Section 9.04) approved by the Administrative Agent, and, in the case of any Increased Cost Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, also approved by the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, and in the case of any Increased Cost Lender with an LC Facility Participation, also approved by the LC Facility Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and such Increased Cost Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to such assignee, and the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register; provided, however, that no Increased Cost Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment unless (i) such assignment shall not conflict with any law or any rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) such assignee or Borrower shall pay to the affected Increased Cost Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment, or applicable claim, on the Loans made by such Increased Cost Lender, participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans held by such Increased Cost Lender and any LC Facility Deposits by such Increased Cost Lender and all commitment fees and other fees owed to such Increased Cost Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Increased Cost Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder (including any Commitment Fees).

SECTION 2.21. Deposit Account.

(a) On the Closing Date, each LC Facility Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account an amount equal to its LC Facility Deposit. The LC Facility Deposits shall be held by the Administrative Agent in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, and no party other than the Administrative Agent shall have a right of withdrawal from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or any other right or power with respect to

-63-

the LC Facility Deposits. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the funding obligation of each LC Facility Lender in respect of its participation in LC Facility Letters of Credit or otherwise as provided in this Agreement shall be satisfied in full upon the funding of its LC Facility Deposit in the amount set forth on Schedule 2.01.

(b) Each of the Administrative Agent, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and each LC Facility Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that each LC Facility Lender is funding its LC Facility Deposit to the Administrative Agent for application in the manner contemplated by Section 2.06 and that the Administrative Agent has agreed to invest the LC Facility Deposits so as to earn a return on the principal outstanding amount of the LC Facility Deposits from time to time (as they may be reduced and subsequently increased by withdrawals and deposits made with respect to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement) at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for the LC Facility Deposits at such time less 15 basis points (as such rate may be adjusted from time to time by the Administrative Agent, acting in consultation with the LC Facility Lenders, as a result of market conditions and the timing and frequency of any withdrawals which are made from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account pursuant to Sections 2.06 and 2.11 and this Section 2.21 (such amount, the “Cost Amount”)). Such interest will be paid to the LC Facility Lenders by the Administrative Agent at the applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate for an Interest Period of (x) until the date which is 4 weeks following the Closing Date, 1 week, or at the Administrative Agent’s election 1 month, and (y) at all times thereafter, 1 month (or at an amount determined in accordance with paragraph (f) below, if applicable), payable monthly in arrears. In addition to the foregoing payments by the Administrative Agent, Borrower agrees to make payments to the LC Facility Lenders quarterly in arrears when LC Facility LC Fees are payable pursuant to Section 2.10(c) (and together with the payment of such fees) in an amount equal to the Cost Amount.

(c) In the event funds from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account are withdrawn by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the LC Facility Issuing Bank for an unreimbursed LC Disbursement with respect to any LC Facility Letter of Credit, Borrower shall have the right, at any time prior to the LC Facility Maturity Date, to pay over to the Administrative Agent in reimbursement thereof an amount equal to the amount so withdrawn for deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account. In the event that any reimbursement shall be due to the LC Facility Issuing Bank under Section 2.06(e) on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period in effect for the LC Facility Deposits, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to advance its own funds to cover the amount due to the LC Facility Issuing Bank, in which case (x) title to an amount of the LC Facility Deposits equal to the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent (together with the interest accruing thereon) shall automatically be transferred to the Administrative Agent, which shall reimburse itself for the amount advanced by it through the liquidation of such amounts from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account at the end of the applicable Interest Period, and (y) Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor, the amount, if any, by which the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for the period from the date of such reimbursement of the LC Facility Issuing Bank through the end of the applicable Interest Period, as determined by the Administrative Agent (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) and set forth in the request for payment delivered to Borrower, shall exceed the interest accrued on a like amount of the LC Facility Deposits at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period. In the event Borrower shall fail to pay any amount due under clause (y) of the preceding sentence, the interest payable by the Administrative Agent

-64-

to the LC Facility Lenders on their LC Facility Deposits under Section 2.21(b) shall be correspondingly reduced and the LC Facility Lenders shall without further act succeed, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, to the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to such amount. If any LC Disbursement reimbursement that has been funded from the LC Facility Deposits shall be reimbursed by Borrower on a day other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the LC Facility Deposits, the Administrative Agent shall invest the amount so reimbursed in overnight or short-term cash equivalent investments until the end of the Interest Period at the time in effect and Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor, the amount, if any, by which the interest accrued on a like amount of the LC Facility Deposits at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect therefor shall exceed the interest earned through the investment of the amount so reimbursed for the period from the date of such reimbursement through the end of the applicable Interest Period, as determined by the Administrative Agent (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) and set forth in the request for payment delivered to Borrower. In the event Borrower shall fail to pay any amount due under this paragraph, the interest payable by the Administrative Agent to the LC Facility Lenders on their LC Facility Deposits under Section 2.08(c) above shall be correspondingly reduced and the LC Facility Lenders shall without further act succeed, ratably in accordance with their Commitment Percentages, to the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to such amount.

(d) Neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have any right, title or interest in or to the LC Facility Deposits or any obligations with respect thereto (including any obligation to pay interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate) (except to refund portions thereof used to reimburse the LC Facility Issuing Bank with respect to unreimbursed draws on Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.06), it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that the making of the LC Facility Deposits by the LC Facility Lenders, the provisions of this Section 2.21 and the application of the LC Facility Deposits in the manner contemplated by Section 2.06(e) constitute agreements among the Administrative Agent, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and each LC Facility Lender with respect to the funding obligations of each LC Facility Lender in respect of its participation in LC Facility Letters of Credit and do not constitute any loan or extension of credit to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, each Loan Party shall be deemed to have granted to the Collateral Agent, as of the Closing Date, for the sole and exclusive benefit of the LC Facility Issuing Bank and the LC Facility Lenders, a first priority security interest in and lien upon the LC Facility Deposits and all funds invested therein.

(e) Provided that Borrower has complied with Section 2.11(d), the Administrative Agent shall return any remaining LC Facility Deposits to the LC Facility Lenders on the LC Facility Maturity Date.

(f) If the Administrative Agent is advised by Citibank that it is not offering U.S. dollar deposits (in the applicable amounts) in the London interbank market, or the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not otherwise exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the LC Facility Deposits (or any part thereof), then the LC Facility Deposits (or such parts, as applicable) shall be invested so as to earn a return equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

SECTION 2.22. Increase in LC Facility.

(a) New Commitments. At any time following the completion of the syndication of the credit facilities provided herein (as reasonably determined by the Joint Lead Arrangers) and at least six months prior to the LC Facility Maturity Date, Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request an increase to the Total LC Facility Deposit (any such increase, the “New LC Facility Deposits”), in an amount of $5.0 million or an integral multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof, but not in an amount greater than $10.0 million in the aggregate during the term of the Agreement. In connection with the New LC Facility Deposits, Borrower may, but shall not be required to, increase the LC Facility LC Fees with respect to the LC Facility Deposits (which increase shall also be applicable to LC Facility Deposits previously deposited). Such notice shall (A) specify the date (an “Increased Amount Date”) on which Borrower proposes that the New LC Facility Deposits be made, which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (B) if applicable, specify any increase in the LC Facility LC Fees. Borrower shall also notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the identity of each existing LC Facility Lender or other financial institution acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each such LC Facility Lender or financial institution, a “New LC Facility Lender”) to whom the New LC Facility Deposits have been allocated and the amounts of such allocations. Such New LC Facility Deposits shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (1) no Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New LC Facility Deposits, (2) the Administrative Agent does not object to any New LC Facility Lender and (3) such increase in the Total LC Facility Deposit shall be evidenced by (x) one or more joinder agreements executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent by each New LC Facility Lender and (y) one or more confirmations by each existing LC Facility Lender providing a portion of the New LC Facility Deposit, in each case in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each shall be recorded in the register, each of which shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.16(d).

(b) On the Increased Amount Date, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.22(a), (i) as directed by the Administrative Agent, each of the existing LC Facility Lenders shall be deemed to have assigned to each of the New LC Facility Lenders, and each of the New LC Facility Lenders shall be deemed to have purchased from each of the existing LC Facility Lenders, at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, participations in LC Facility Letters of Credit being held by existing LC Facility Lenders so that after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the New LC Facility Lenders and existing LC Facility Lenders hold participations ratably in accordance with their LC Facility Commitment Percentage after giving effect to the addition of such New LC Facility Deposits to the existing LC Facility Deposits, (ii) each New LC Facility Deposit shall be deemed for all purposes a LC Facility Deposit, (iii) each existing LC Facility Lender and New LC Facility Lender shall make an LC Facility Deposit on the Increased Amount Date in a principal amount equal to the amount by which such LC Facility Lender’s or New LC Facility Lender’s, as applicable, LC Facility Deposit (after giving effect to clause (i) above) exceeds such New LC Facility Lender’s or LC Facility Lender’s, as applicable, Commitment Percentage and (iv) each New LC Facility Lender shall become an LC Facility Lender for all purposes under this Agreement.

-66-

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of Borrower’s notice of the Increased Amount Date and shall specify whether any change has occurred in the LC Facility LC Fees for LC Facility Deposits.

(d) Nothing in this Section 2.22 shall obligate any existing LC Facility Lender to provide any portion of any New LC Facility Deposit unless such existing Lender shall have confirmed its New LC Facility Deposit pursuant to clause (3)(y) of the proviso of the last sentence of Section 2.22(a) hereof.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party will, upon the due execution and delivery thereof and assuming the due execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of the other parties hereto, constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party hereto or thereto, enforceable in accordance with the respective terms hereof and thereof, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

SECTION 3.05. Medicare Participation/Accreditation.

(a) Parent and its Domestic Subsidiaries are qualified (to the extent required by their business as currently conducted) to participate as suppliers under the Medicare Regulations and Medicaid Regulations (together with their respective intermediaries or carriers, the “Government Reimbursement Programs”), and the relevant Loan Parties are entitled to reimbursement under the Medicare program for services rendered to qualified Medicare beneficiaries. Parent and its Domestic Subsidiaries comply in all material respects with the conditions of participation in all Government Reimbursement Programs in which any of them participates or has participated. There is no pending or, to Borrower’s best knowledge after due inquiry, threatened proceeding or investigation by any of the Government Reimbursement Programs in which any of them participates or has participated with respect to (i) Parent’s or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries’ qualification or right to participate in any Government Reimbursement Program in which it participates or has participated, (ii) the compliance or non-compliance by Parent or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries with the terms or provisions of any Government Reimbursement Program, or (iii) the right of Parent or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries to receive or retain amounts received

(b) Fraud and Abuse. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective officers or directors has, on behalf of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, knowingly or willfully violated any Medicare Regulations or Medicaid Regulations in any case in any material respect, including but not limited to the following: (i) knowingly and willfully making or causing to be made a false statement or representation of a material fact in any applications for any benefit or payment; (ii) knowingly and willfully making or causing to be made any false statement or representation of a material fact for use in determining rights to any benefit or payment; (iii) failing to disclose knowledge by a claimant of the occurrence of any event affecting the initial or continued right to any benefit or payment on its own behalf or on behalf of another, with intent to secure such benefit or payment fraudulently; (iv) knowingly and willfully soliciting or receiving any remuneration (including any kickback, bribe or rebate), directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind or offering to pay such remuneration (A) in return for referring an individual to a Person for the furnishing or arranging for the furnishing of any item or service for which payment may be made in whole or in part by any Government Reimbursement Programs or other applicable third-party payers, or (B) in return for purchasing, leasing or ordering or arranging for or recommending the purchasing, leasing or ordering of any good, facility, service or item for which payment may be made in whole or in part by any Government Reimbursement Programs or other applicable third-party payers.

SECTION 3.06. Financial Information; Projections.

(a) The Lenders have been provided true and complete copies of (i) the consolidated balance sheets of Parent as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Parent for the Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and (ii) the consolidated balance sheet of Parent as of December 31, 2004 and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Parent for the six month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (except for the absence of full footnote disclosure in the interim financial statements described in clause (ii) and present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of Parent as of the dates and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.06(a) or in the financial statements referred to in this Section 3.06(a) (including the notes thereto) or in the Information Memorandum, on the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions), neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has any Indebtedness or contingent liabilities, long-term commitments or unrealized losses.

(b) The Lenders have been provided true and complete copies of the pro forma consolidated balance sheet of each of Parent and Borrower as of December 31, 2004 prepared giving effect to the Transactions as if the Transactions had occurred on such date (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheets”). Such pro forma consolidated balance sheets (i) were prepared in good faith based on assumptions set forth therein, (ii) accurately reflects all adjustments necessary to give effect to the Transactions and (iii) present fairly the pro forma consolidated financial position of Parent or Borrower, as applicable, as of the date on which the balance sheets were prepared, as if the Transactions had occurred on such date.

-69-

(c) The Lenders have been provided copies of projections for each of Parent and Borrower for each Fiscal Year through the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2011, prepared on a quarterly basis through June 30, 2007 (the “Projections”). The assumptions made in preparing the Projections were reasonable as of the date the Projections were provided to the Lenders and all material assumptions are set forth therein. The Projections present a good faith estimate of the financial information contained therein, it being recognized by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results will probably differ from the Projections and that the differences may be material.

SECTION 3.07. No Material Adverse Effect. Since June 30, 2004, no event or circumstance has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.08. Litigation. There is no pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened investigation, litigation, action or proceeding affecting Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective operations, properties, businesses, assets or prospects, or the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

SECTION 3.09. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has violated, is in violation of or has been given written notice of any violation of any Requirements of Law applicable to it or its Property or any indentures, agreements or other instruments binding upon it or its Property, except for any violations which singly or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10. Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.10 sets forth the name of, and the direct or indirect ownership interest in each Subsidiary as of the Closing Date and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Loan Party as of the Closing Date.

SECTION 3.11. Ownership of Properties.

(a) Except where the failure, singly or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, Parent and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, or are licensed to use, all their material properties and assets (including all Mortgaged Properties), except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with their ability to conduct their business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes. As of the Closing Date after giving effect to the initial extensions of credit hereunder, all Mortgaged Properties are free and clear of Liens, except for exceptions listed in each title insurance policy insuring the Mortgages on such Mortgaged Properties. All of such other properties are free and clear of Liens, other than Permitted Liens. The property of Parent and its Subsidiaries,

-70-

taken as a whole, (i) is in sufficient operating order, condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and (ii) constitutes all the property which is required for the business and operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries as presently conducted.

(b) As of the Closing Date, Schedule 3.11(b) contains a true and complete list of each parcel of Real Property (including each Mortgaged Property) and identifies whether such parcel is (i) owned by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) leased, subleased or otherwise occupied or utilized by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, as lessee.

(c) Parent and its Subsidiaries have complied with all obligations under all leases to which they are a party, except where the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and all such leases are in full force and effect, except leases in respect of which the failure to be in full force and effect could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Parent and its Subsidiaries enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such leases, other than leases in respect of which the failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession could not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Parent and its Subsidiaries own, possess, are licensed or otherwise have the right to use, or could obtain ownership or possession of, on terms not materially adverse to them, all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights with respect thereto necessary for the present conduct of their business, without any known conflict with the rights of others, except where such conflicts could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is obligated on the Closing Date under any right of first refusal, option or other contractual right to sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Property or any interest therein, except in each case as specified on Schedule 3.11(e) or in the lease documents delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date.

(f) None of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of, nor has any knowledge of, the occurrence or pendency or contemplation of any Taking or material Destruction affecting all or any portion of its Property. No Mortgage encumbers improved Real Property that is located in an area that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards within the meaning of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 unless flood insurance available under such Act has been obtained in accordance with Section 5.04.

(g) Parent and its Subsidiaries own or have rights to use all of the Collateral and all rights with respect to any of the foregoing used in, necessary for or material to their businesses as currently conducted. The use by each Loan Party with rights in such Collateral and all such rights with respect to the foregoing do not infringe on the rights of any Person other than such infringement which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been and remains outstanding that any of Parent’s or any of its Subsidiary’s use of any Collateral does or may violate the rights of any third party that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

-71-

SECTION 3.12. Taxes. Parent and its Subsidiaries have timely filed (or had filed on their behalf) all federal and material state and foreign tax returns and reports required by law to have been filed by them and have timely paid all Taxes and governmental charges due and all assessments received, except any such Taxes or charges which are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside on their books or which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no proposed (in writing) or pending Tax assessment, deficiency or audit that could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has ever been a party to any understanding or arrangement constituting a “tax shelter” for U.S. tax purposes within the meaning of Section 6111(c), Section 6111(d) (as in effect immediately prior to the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004) or Section 6662(d)(2)(C)(iii) of the Code, or has ever “participated” in a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.6011-4.

SECTION 3.13. Employee Benefits.

(a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Parent and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to all employee benefits plans (as defined in section 3(3) of ERISA) that are maintained or contributed to by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, except where non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans by an amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect if such plans are terminated. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart 1 of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of each ERISA Entity to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Parent and its Subsidiaries do not maintain or contribute to any plan, program, policy arrangement or agreement with respect to employees (or former employees) employed outside the United States.

SECTION 3.14. Environmental Matters.

(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14(a) and except for such matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,

(i) All Property owned, leased or operated by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, and all operations conducted thereon and therefrom, are in compliance with all Environmental Laws.

-72-

(ii) There have been no Releases at, on, under or from any Property now or, to Borrower’s knowledge, previously owned, leased or operated by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

(iii) Parent and its Subsidiaries have been issued and are in compliance with all Environmental Permits necessary for their Properties, operations, facilities and businesses and each is in full force and effect and neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice that any Environment Permit will be suspended, revoked or otherwise modified.

(iv) There are no underground storage tanks, active or abandoned, or related piping, including petroleum storage tanks, or any surface impoundments or disposal areas, on or under any Real Property now or, to Borrower’s knowledge, previously owned, leased or operated by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

(v) Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has arranged for the disposal or treatment or arranged for the transportation for disposal or treatment of any Hazardous Material to any location which is listed or formally proposed for listing on the National Priorities List (“NPL”) promulgated pursuant to CERCLA, on the CERCLIS or on any similar list promulgated by a Governmental Authority or which is the subject of any enforcement actions by any Governmental Authority or of other investigations or Remedial Action which could reasonably be expected to lead to any Environmental Claim against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

(vi) There are no polychlorinated biphenyls or friable asbestos present at any Property owned, leased or operated by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) Except for such matters that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there are no pending or written threatened:

(i) Environmental Claims received by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or

(ii) claims, complaints, notices or inquiries received by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries regarding Environmental Liability.

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14(c), no Property now or, to Borrower’s knowledge, previously owned, leased or operated by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is listed or proposed for listing on the NPL or on the CERCLIS or on any similar list of sites promulgated by a Governmental Authority, which listing or proposed listing could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

-73-

(d) There are no existing Liens pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to any Property or other assets currently owned, or to Borrower’s knowledge, leased or operated by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

(e) Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is currently conducting any Remedial Action which could result in material costs or liability, and neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to, and none of these entities has assumed by contract, agreement or operation of law, any obligation under Environmental Law, except as could not reasonably be expected to, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Lenders hereby acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of any Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Requisite Lenders.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the LC Facility Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500.0 million or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by such a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent.

With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, each Agent in its individual capacity and not as an Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither CGMI and JPMSI, as Joint Lead Arrangers, nor JPMCB as Syndication Agent, in such respective capacities, shall have any obligations, duties or responsibilities, or shall incur any liabilities, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with Section 9.04(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with Section 9.04(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.04(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower or any Lender shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 9.04(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

-112-

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it and LC Facility Participations); provided that

(i) except in the case of any assignment made in connection with the primary syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein by the Joint Lead Arrangers or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or LC Facility Participation or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans or LC Facility Participation of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5.0 million, in the case of any assignment in respect of Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Commitments, or $1.0 million, in the case of any assignment in respect of Term Loans and/or Term Loan Commitments or LC Facility Participations, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan, Commitment or LC Facility Participation assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate tranches on a non-pro rata basis; and

(iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.04(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.04(d). Without the consent of

-113-

Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Administrative Agent and the LC Facility Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Deposit of any LC Facility Lender shall not be released in connection with any assignment by such LC Facility Lender, but shall instead be purchased by the relevant assignee and continue to be held for application (to the extent not already applied) in accordance with Section 2.05 to satisfy such assignee’s obligations in respect of LC Facility LC Disbursements.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the LC Facility Issuing Banks and Agents, and (i) the Commitment of, and principal amount (and related interest amounts) of the Loans and LC Disbursements, and participations in Swingline Loans, owing to and paid to, and each LC Facility Deposit of, each Lender, (ii) the amounts (including any principal and interest) owing to, and paid to, each Revolving Lender with respect to (A) payments made by such Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(e)(ii) and (B) participations in any Revolving Letters of Credit, (iii) the amounts (including any principal and interest) owing to, and paid to, each LC Facility Lender with respect to (A) payments made from the LC Facility Deposits of any such LC Facility Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(e)(ii) and (B) participations in any LC Facility Letters of Credit, (iv) the amount of each Revolving LC Disbursement, and the amounts (including any principal and interest) owing to, and paid to, each Issuing Bank with respect to any Revolving LC Disbursements, (v) the amount of each LC Facility LC Disbursement, and the amounts (including any principal and interest) owing to, and paid to, the LC Facility Issuing Bank, and (vi) the amount of any other Obligations owing to, and paid to, or for the account of, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, any LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Agent, pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Except to the extent inconsistent with Section 2.07(d), the entries in the Register shall be conclusive and Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and the Agents hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it or LC Facility Participation); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that

-114-

such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.08(c)(i)-(vi), in each case, that affect such Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.21 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender shall, acting for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants, and the amount and terms of its participations including specifying any such Participant’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest, and any payments made, with respect to each such participation; provided that no Lender shall be required to disclose or share the information contained in such register with Borrower or any other party, except as required by applicable law.

(e) Limitations on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, such Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities.

SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to pay, upon demand, (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, CGMI and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, compliance with any local requirements as to creation, perfection or maintenance of security interests, including the Arizona Blind Trust Act) or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers, or proposed amendments, modifications or waivers, of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and the creation and perfection of the Liens on the Collateral, (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with the enforcement

-115-

or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement (including its rights under this Section 9.05), the other Loan Documents or the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Issuing Banks, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender; provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not be obligated to pay for expenses incurred by a Lender in connection with the assignment of Loans to an assignee Lender (except pursuant to Section 2.20) or the sale of Loans to a participant pursuant to Section 9.04.

(b) Each of the Loan Parties, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank, each Lender, each Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons and each of their respective Related Parties (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property or facility owned or operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability or Environmental Claim related in any way to Borrower or its Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related reasonable expenses are finally judicially determined to have arisen by reason of the Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c) To the extent that the Loan Parties fail to promptly pay any amount to be paid by them to any Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, Syndication Agent, any Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.05, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent, Joint Lead Arranger, Syndication Agent, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (other than syndication expenses); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the applicable Agent, Syndication Agent, Joint Lead Arranger, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposure, LC Facility LC Exposure, outstanding Term Loans, unused Commitments and LC Facility Deposits at the time.

-116-

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Loan Parties shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of Loans and LC Disbursements, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by the Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. In connection with exercising its rights pursuant to the previous sentence, a Lender may at any time use any of a Loan Party’s credit balances with the Lender to purchase at the Lender’s applicable spot rate of exchange any other currency or currencies which the Lender considers necessary to reduce or discharge any amount due by any Loan Party to the Lender, and may apply that currency or those currencies in or towards payment of those amounts. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent after making any such setoff.

SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of either Agent, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any

-117-

event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan, the funding of an LC Facility Deposit or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default regardless of whether an Agent, any Lender, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Subject to Sections 9.08(c), 9.08(d) and 9.08(e), no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders.

(c) Subject to Section 9.08(e), without the written consent of each Lender that would be directly affected thereby (whose consent shall be sufficient therefor without the consent of the Requisite Lenders), no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

(i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan or Note or the final expiration of any Commitment;

(ii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment pursuant to Section 2.05(d);

(iii) extend the date on which the LC Facility Deposits are required to be returned to the LC Facility Lenders;

(iv) reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or any Fee payable hereunder (other than any Default Rate imposed pursuant to Section 2.08(c)), it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (iv);

(v) extend the time for payment of any interest, Fees or reimbursement of any LC Disbursement;

(vi) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit;

(vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 9.08(b), this Section 9.08(c), Section 9.08(d) or Section 9.08(e) (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which affect the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Lenders on the Closing Date);

(viii) amend the definition of “Requisite Lenders,” “Requisite Class Lenders” or “Commitment Percentage”; provided, with the consent of Requisite Lenders and the Requisite Class Lenders of the applicable Class, additional extensions of credit pursuant

-118-

hereto (including pursuant to Section 2.22) may be included in the determination of “Requisite Lenders,” “Requisite Class Lenders” or “Commitment Percentage” on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Loans, LC Facility Deposits, Term Commitments and Term Loans, are included on the Closing Date;

(ix) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release Parent or any Subsidiary Loan Party from the Guarantee Agreement except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents or subordinate the Liens under any Security Document, it being understood that additional extensions of credit under this Agreement consented to by the Requisite Lenders may be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral with the then existing secured obligations under the Security Documents; or

(x) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.01.

(d) Subject to Section 9.08(e), no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall:

(i) increase any Revolving Credit Commitment or required LC Facility Deposit of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender; provided no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant or Default shall constitute an increase in any Revolving Credit Commitment or required LC Facility Deposit of any Lender;

(ii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Agreement relating to (i) Revolving Letters of Credit without the written consent of each Issuing Bank or (ii) LC Facility Letters of Credit without the written consent of the LC Facility Issuing Bank;

(iii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Article VIII as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent;

(iv) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination to grant any consent thereunder without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be);

(v) amend, modify, terminate or waive the manner of application of any optional or mandatory prepayments as among or between Classes of Loans, without the written consent of the Requisite Class Lenders of each Class that is being allocated a lesser prepayment as a result thereof;

(vi) expressly amend, modify, supplement or waive any condition precedent in Section 4.02 to any Revolving Credit Borrowing or issuance of a Revolving Letter of Credit without the written consent of the Requisite Class Lenders with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments;

-119-

(vii) increase the maximum duration of Interest Periods hereunder without the consent of each Revolving Lender and Term Lender; or

(viii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision hereof relating to the Swingline Sublimit or the Swingline Loans without the consent of Swingline Lender.

(e) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement (other than as contemplated by Section 9.08(d)(i), (v) and (vi) above), the consent of the Requisite Lenders or majority Lenders of any Class, as applicable, is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then Borrower shall have the right, so long as all Non-Consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described below, to replace each such Non-Consenting Lender or Lenders (or to replace such Non-Consenting Lender or Lenders from the Class for which consent is being sought) with one or more assignees which will become Lenders hereunder (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04) approved by the Administrative Agent and, with respect to assignees that are Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank and, with respect to assignees that are LC Facility Lenders, the LC Facility Issuing Bank (which approval in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld) so long as at the time of such replacement, each such assignee consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination; provided, however, that no Non-Consenting Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment unless, (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law or any rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (y) such assignee or Borrower shall pay to the affected Non-Consenting Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans, participations in LC Disbursements, LC Facility Deposits of, and all Fees and Cost Amount owed with respect to, any Class of Loans or LC Deposits with respect to which such Non-Consenting Lender’s consent was requested but not obtained.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.08 to the contrary, amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers to the terms of the Credit-Linked Deposit Account shall require the written consent of each LC Facility Lender, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent; provided that no such amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall require the consent of any other Person.
